For starters, there’s no story or single player campaign. You have a dozen maps that you can play on, and that’s it. If you are playing as a single player, you just select a map and go fight the AI. It’s the same map as in the multiplayer game, only without live players as opponents and teammates. Because of the way it is set up, one big complaint about the game is that it affords the player no opportunities for training or to learn how the weapons work.
Online multiplayer action via the PlayStation Network is the true core of this game, but the gameplay there is hit and miss. I kept running into map after map where enemy soldiers were attacking the spawn point, so I’d die before I ever got a chance to play. I also found that, in general, the game was a little too fast and just didn’t play so well when compared to games like Battlefield: Bad Company or Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. There’s nothing much in this game that you can’t do in other games, but it’s just not as fun here. I honestly think this is the worst first person shooter I have ever played on the PS3.
